Amir Agarab: “It is the sky [Still] Mine continues

Professor Amir Agarab, professor of photography at Austin Peay State University, presents his works in “The Sky”. [Still] Me” runs through Dec. 9 at the new gallery on campus.

Agarb enjoys taking carefully composed conventional 2D photographs as well as unconventional work that pushes the usual definition of the medium. Light-encased photos in clear cube frames, tea-colored laser cyanotypes of cell phone photos, heavy composites that question the reliability of a photo, and works that take up space rather than just part of a wall. There are examples of his works. .

His recent works are about physical spaces. He examines the similarities and differences that one encounters when moving. The work is also about finding peace, where one can stretch one’s imagination and place oneself wherever one wants. It’s about looking up when surrounded by the unfamiliar. According to Sohrab Sepehri, an Iranian poet, wherever I am is the sky [still] mine.”

There are several events related to this exhibition:

• Agarab will present an artist talk about his work and creative practice on November 16 at 6:00 PM in Room 120 of the APSU Art + Design Building.
• The reception and conversation of the gallery with relatives will start at noon on November 26 at the new gallery.
• The exhibit will be open during Clarksville’s First Thursday Art Walk on December 1st from 5:00pm to 7:30pm.
